About the Book
Lakelore is the story of two neurodivergent and nonbinary teens, Lore and Bastián, who are drawn to a mysterious lake that holds the secrets of their past. When the lake’s magic starts spilling into the real world, Lore and Bastián must confront their hidden truths and embrace their full selves.
Anna-Marie McLemore’s signature blend of magical realism and lyrical storytelling creates a world where magic and real world collide, offering readers a chance to explore meaningful themes while being carried to another world. Lakelore is a celebration of queer love, neurodiversity and self-acceptance.
Why We Chose Lakelore?
